Fulvio Sestito started his storytelling career at a very young age. He studied directing in his native city of Rome, Italy, then moved to Los Angeles to study film at UCLA. Fulvio's thesis epic short "The Showdown" has been showcased at over 40 film festivals worldwide and has won numerous awards including the "Award for Filmmaking Excellence" at the prestigious Baseball Hall of Fame.

On the technology side, Fulvio, who has always been passionate about exploring pioneering expressions of visual storytelling, has collaborated with Guillermo Del Toro's Mirada Studio to create virtual production and visualization for high-end commercials for clients such as Mazda, Disney, and Under Armor.

With Blur Studio Fulvio has also helped create hyper realistic cinematics for top grossing AAA game franchises like Halo, Assassins Creed, League of Legend, and Elder Scrolls.
